GOELLER Editor and Publisher EDWARD F. WULr General Manager EDMUND R. WERNICKE Advertising Manager Circulation Staff: ROBERT W. ROBERTS AU (dhlnt) ANDREWS Northwest Bus Line Residents of the northwest section of the village desiring a bus route that will provide a maximum. amount of service with the least inconvenience will have to fight for it at a hearing before the Phblic .Ser- vice Commission if the Village Board ean h'nd an individual or a company to operate over the lin e as proposed. Yielding to the protests of residents and taxpayers who do not want the buses to pass their homes, the Village Fathers have laid out a line that is close 1o,Mnin st. part of the way and almost on the Baldwin boundry the rest. It also makes a turn at a school. The route us proposed origin- ates in the Bus Terminal, on Henry st.., runs north on Henry st, west on Broadway, across Main st. into Brooklyn ave., and then north to the Roosevelt line. Before a hearing ean be called' the Board must find an operator to run the line. If it succeeds \ the Public Service Commission will hold a hearing and then grant a franchise for the route proposed or select- another. Though the ^Erpppsed sched- ule calls for a bus each way only -every half 'hour- every route suggested has met with strenuous opposition on the part of people owning property and livi'ng along the streets in- cluded in it . Perhaps'the rea- son people living on North Ocean and Brookside aves. have not voiced 1 opposition is that they nqvcr suspected these ave- nues might be included in the route. Their protests probably will be heard if and when the P.S.C. hearing is called. Just why there should be .finch— strenuous -opposition -to . the bus line is hard to realize considering the: infrequency of the trips 'the buses will make The only protests ever heard fron\ the busps in the southern jialf of the village is that they are not run often enough or are s overcrowded. A howl would go up.if service was suspended - Rockville Centre hns buses run- ning -nortli and south through —resiclential (i se\ctions7-ami\-appar- ently there is no opposition to them. So why should they prove objectionable in the northwest? The Public Service Commis- sion should fix a route that will - serve the greatest number to t the best advantage, t The j^oute __ also should provide 1 , a financial incentive for the .operator^vilP •-• ing to run the line,-\as it is • doubtful if one can _b\Jound who \would-be wUfag' to^ake the risk of agreeing to operate !•;over; the route proposed.

The Leader By MRS. ELIZABETH F. KELLY Librarian, Freeport • Memorial Library —\My -Father's Dragon,—by- -Ruth Giles Gannett (Random House * $2.00) is-certain to-appeal to young readers who like a nonsensical or fanciful-_8tory. One strange and ex- citing adventure after another, be- falls \my father\ as lie explores Wild Island in search of the baby dragon, kept captive by the ani- mals, to serve as a;ferry boat! It was the alley cat who told \My Father\ of the dragon's pre- dicament and who suggested his going, to the Island to free him. Spurred by the thoughts of possible \air pla'm* rides\ upon the back of the dragon, \My Father\ made this\ perilous journey, flr'st by sea, ' d then through the jungle. His meetings with the wild animals called for much courage and in- genuity. Readers will be delighted to find that \My Father\ was qual to every occasion. The book is beautifully illustrat- ed by the eminent artist, Ruth Chrisman Gannet. It has been chosen as the prize winner, for , younger readers, among spring books during the Children's Spring Book Festival, as sponsored by the New York Herald Tribune. * * * \Daughter of the Mountains\ written by Louise and illustrated by Kurt Wiese (Viking Press $2.50) was selected as a New York Herald Tribune prize winner for interme- diate grade reading. It is the 'Story of Momo, whose-adventures took place in the last years of the British Rule in' India.\ Bomb's journey, frbn*i her own village in the Tibetan Mountains, over the great Trade Route to Cal- utta was hazardous as well as ad- venturesome. Her beloved dog, Pempa, had been stolen by one of the passing traders and it was this sorrowful incident that led Momo to take this perilous trip. She had longed for just such a red-gold Lhasa terrier since she was four years of age and when her prayers had been answered, her happiness had been compile. It was small wonder, then, that she attempted what the villagers, along the route, thought the impossible. Had she not the protection of the Gods? That was the ever present thought and inspiration which carried her through the trying hours. Both the author and illustrator have lived in this country. Their description in . orde-'and pictures make the story \Daughter of the Mountains\ a true account of Tibetan life.
